A 46-year-old Soledad man pleaded guilty to sexually molesting two 11-year-old girls, the Monterey County District Attorney's Office said Thursday.

Jose Perez Fuentes entered his guilty plea on Wednesday in a Salinas courtroom.

Prosecutors said Fuentes also molested a family member 10 years ago when she was 16 years old. The girl told her family about the sexual abuse when it happened, but the family refused to believe her. Her mother said she would be deported from the U.S. if her daughter called police about sexual abuse.

The victim, who is now 26, said when she learned that other young girls were molested after her, she regretted listening to her mother and not alerting police, prosecutors said.

In September 2014, Fuentes sexually molested an 11-year-old girl in her bedroom.

In 2013, he molested another 11-year-old girl in her bedroom. The girl's mother evicted Fuentes from the house when she discovered him trying to enter a bedroom where several girls, including the victim, were watching a movie during a sleepover.

Fuentes will be sentenced by Judge Pamela Butler on May 29 to serve 15 years in state prison. He will also be required to register as a sex offender for life.
